This woodworking quote template gives you a $200 known subtotal for an illustrative 18-inch organizer and a separate request for a 24-inch version. Finish, delivery, and tax remain unpriced, so the complete price stays unavailable. Changing the requested width updates the comparison and clarification request without turning the width ratio into a price.
Start with the piece you priced
The fictional QW01 quote covers one freestanding desktop organizer. Its original reference is DR01 Draft: W 18 in × D 8 in × H 10 in, with birch plywood proposed and finish to confirm. Those dimensions describe the outside of the piece. Record the intended contents and any critical internal dimensions separately before treating them as a fit requirement.
Keep the drawing status beside its reference. “DR01 Draft” tells the next reader which design the estimate describes and that approval is still outstanding. An attached sketch with no revision or status leaves that question unanswered.
For your own piece, replace the organizer description and enter the actual drawing reference, labeled dimensions, material, and finish. Add hardware or technical requirements that affect the quote. Colecraft's quote-request form includes sketches, overall and critical dimensions, materials, and finish specifications; those are useful questions to resolve before pricing a custom piece.
Keep the subtotal separate from missing costs
The starting amounts are fictional assumptions, not market rates:
| QW01 priced line | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Design review | $40 | Proposed review service |
| Material allowance | $60 | Allowance pending actual material pricing |
| Fabrication | $100 | Estimate against DR01 Draft |
| Known subtotal | $200 | $40 + $60 + $100 |
Leave finish, delivery, and tax marked “To confirm.” An empty finish line is an unanswered pricing question. Entering zero would instead assert a known amount. Keep the missing scope visible beside the subtotal when you discuss the price with the client.
You can replace the three original estimate amounts and choose “Update quote review” to recalculate their sum. For example, keep design review at $40, change the material allowance to $85, and enter $140 for fabrication. The known subtotal becomes $265. That still describes the original drawing; it supplies no price for the proposed wider piece.
Record the width request without rewriting DR01
Enter 24 inches as the requested width. The comparison preserves DR01 at 18 inches and records a six-inch increase under DR02 Proposed. The revised price remains unavailable until the maker supplies a new estimate against the changed specification.
Reconfirm depth, height, material, finish, and critical requirements for DR02. Do not quietly carry them into the new design because the client mentioned only width. A useful response can say which details are retained and which need changing, then identify the drawing revision those decisions belong to.
Try a 30-inch request with the $265 original subtotal. The width difference becomes 12 inches, while the known subtotal stays $265. The template has no rule connecting inches to dollars. Ask for revised material and fabrication amounts rather than multiplying the original estimate by 30/18.
Take a focused request back to the maker
The generated clarification asks the maker to review the requested width under DR02 Proposed, confirm the other specifications, and supply the revised estimate plus finish, delivery, and tax details. Select the request text to copy it into your usual correspondence. Nothing is sent or saved by the example; reloading restores the sample.
When the maker responds, enter the revised quote version, drawing reference, actual estimate, and agreed terms in your Word document, PDF, or workbook. This HTML comparison does not create those files or record acceptance. Before issuing the quote, check that its dimensions and costs refer to the same drawing revision.

Create a single self-contained HTML woodworking quote review in US English for an independent maker. Return the complete HTML with embedded CSS and JavaScript and no remote dependencies.

Use fictional quote QW01 for one freestanding desktop organizer. Preserve the original specification: DR01 Draft, W 18 in x D 8 in x H 10 in, birch plywood proposed, finish to confirm. Show intended contents, critical dimensions, hardware, and specification approval as unconfirmed. This is a quotation comparison, not a fabrication drawing.
Provide labeled editable USD amounts for original design review ($40), material allowance ($60), and fabrication ($100). An Update quote review button must calculate their known subtotal, initially $200. Keep finish, delivery, and tax unpriced and the complete final price unavailable. Reject blank, negative, nonnumeric, and more-than-two-decimal amounts with a useful error; never present an old result as current after inputs change.
Include a requested width input, initially 24 inches. Compare it with the unchanged original 18 inches and calculate the difference. Identify a changed width as DR02 Proposed. Reconfirm depth, height, material, finish, and critical requirements. Never scale the price from the width ratio or copy original costs into a revised estimate. A matching width should say no width change is requested.
Generate selectable clarification-request text with the requested width and original known subtotal. Ask for a revised estimate when width changes. Keep revised pricing and acceptance unresolved. Do not send messages, persist changes, or provide pretend downloads. State that the actual quote, drawings, commercial terms, and decisions belong in the maker's native records.
Review the proposed piece before issuing the quote
Send the maker the width comparison with one concrete question: what changes in DR02's drawing and estimate? An HTML companion rendered in NOS puts the two widths and unresolved costs on one page for that conversation. When the revised quote arrives, check it against the requested dimensions before treating the price discussion as settled.
